Expression Widgets is part of the JetPack for Learning, an effort to support open education. The project proposes a system that leverages the web browsing experience and the JetPack infra-structure to support learners to collaborate and produce open-based educational resources. The model suggests a dynamic collaboration framework that lets students to create and share statements using Web-based content or resources captured from the web, for a given session topic. Expression widgets introduces a number of pre-developed widget modules to help define initial scenarios that can support collaborative annotation for sessions such as a lecture given by a professor. It explores various communication forms such as text, canvas-based drawing, SVG, MathML, and also some interactive scenarios where teams can build together. The annotated resources are organized and kept using simple wiki pages with less rules to the server and more focus on possibilities for team-centred conventions.
